Use of -p option with the deploy command

[cratcliff]

I am trying to use the pb_tool to package my plugin in an environment which is independent to the default QGIS user plugin folder so I can then test the installation/upgrade through the existing QGIS plugin manager.

I am currently using the following command pb_tool deploy –p c:\non-standard\my_qgisplugins to deploy to a folder which is NOT the default QGIS user plugin folder. What I am finding is that the plugin is being removed from the default QGIS user plugin folder (ie <home>.qgis2/python/plugins) and then deployed to the specified non-standard folder. It seems that when using the –p option, pb_tool is first checking for the existence of the plugin in the default QGIS user plugin folder, deleting it, then deploying to the specified path. Is this behaviour correct? I would have expected the existence check to be applied to the specified path and not the default QGIS user plugin folder when –p is used.

Also is possible to add a –p option to the zip command as well, which then passes the path to the deploy command when required prior to zipping?

Good point. We’ll see about making that change.
